No, no we will not. We might attempt it, but it's not gonna work. Also no one knows anything but the first line and the helmet and brain bursting bit.

Swedish nazi: out of curiosity, where does he publicly stand on Israel/Palestine? Generally, these right wing types seem to be pro Israel on account of hating Muslims, but the Nazi salute is something else.
I know his real beliefs is probably something like "put all the Jews and Muslims (and communists and...) in the desert, turn desert into glass".

I have been asked to give the damenes tale at my work julebord, and looking up examples online I have concerns. Some of these texts feel straight out of the 70s, if I wrote something like this and read it out sincerely I think my girlfriend would dump my castrated body in the fjord. And people give these at work.

It's "supposed" to be an homage to women. It's generally not, since men as a group are assholes.

Two options: either write an actual honest speech about how awesome women are, in general or specifically at your place of work; or go full nuclear. The last one is difficult to pull off but if done right hilarious. You should seek help from friends for feedback regardless.

Also, since you won't do the old boys being boys "it's only a joke" speech, be prepared for Dålig Stämning among the worst men at the party.

What's this damenes tale?

https://www.sangerogtaler.no/damenes-tale.html

quote:

Utdrag fra tale 1

Men det var jo dere kvinner som jeg skulle snakke om! Det er jo også mange fordeler med å være kvinne!

– Jeg må bare tenke meg grundig om.

Det er ikke det at jeg ikke ønsker å si noe, men som alle vet kan det så lett oppstå misforståelser når en stakkars mann en sjelden gang sier noe. Han forstår nemlig ikke alltid spørsmålene. Derfor har jeg med meg en liten ordbok her:

Når kvinner kommer med spørsmålet «Elsker du meg?», så betyr det at hun kommer til å spørre om noe kostbart.

Stiller hun spørsmålet «Hvor mye elsker du meg?», betyr det «Jeg har gjort noe du absolutt ikke kommer til å like.»

Sier hun «Jeg er klar om bare få minutter» så vet enhver mann som har levd noen år at det betyr «Ta av deg skoene og skru på TV!»
osv...

Utdrag fra tale 2

Ja, for noen vil faktisk gå så langt som å kalle det sivilisert – det at damene har trengt seg inn på alle menns områder. Til og med i styret for større bedrifter kan vi se dem nå. Og her nøyer de seg ikke lenger med å bare servere kaffen, men de begynner til og med å uttale seg!

Før var det bare vi menn som virkelig kunne vise hva vi dugde til. Vi var og er fremdeles de eneste som kan pisse på leirbålet – men når det gjelder alt annet, så kan ikke bare dere kvinner gjøre det samme – dere gjør det som regel også bedre!

Det er et ordtak som sier at bak hver vellykket mann står det en kvinne – men det dere kanskje ikke visste, var at bak hver vellykket kvinne står det en mann – en svært forbauset mann!

Seems like boomer humor

damenes tale is absolutely supposed to be cheeky and funny. ideally it should be done in a way which pokes fun at gender relations and men's attitude to women/the gendered division of labour or how the shared ideology of the assembled influences attitudes to women in an absurd way. you can also go an erudite path, or if you just want to muddle through do something boring and play it straight - though in this case you'll also want to keep it as short as possible.

the best literary example i can think of is actually from sangen om den røde rubin by agnar mykle, where the main character is attending business school and has damenes tale at their graduating dinner, where he does a "social-economic analysis on the utility function of women" which while facially extremely rude is clearly playing on how bizarre a lot of the social-economic analysis they've learned is and what assholes the men are. it's interesting that mykle, well-known to be the horniest man in norwegian literature, wrote it during the 1950s.

I'm sure that most of the ones given today are the right amount/style of humour and not quite so boomer brained as what's easily available on the first pages of Google. I am not completely sure why a foreigner like me was asked to give it, but the person organising the julebord is also not Norwegian so perhaps she was as confused by the concept as me.

I think saying some nice things about women in general and those present particularly, poking fun at myself and men, and keeping it short is perhaps the safest route - if I can get a couple sensible chuckles and still have my colleagues willing to talk to me the next week I'll consider it a great success. When I began here we were a group of only men (happily there is a better gender balance now) so there is a good starting point to talk about. I had ideas for some more literary allusions but I'm not sure the audience and I are familiar with the same works so it could easily fall flat. I'll give that Mykle piece a read VIL, thanks!

Apologies for the eastern intrusion, but I googled this book and found it hilarious that it caused a massive hullabaloo in Finland after it was translated in the late 50's; several bishops etc. put pressure on the government and other high officials, and indeed our illustrious government decreed that all printed copies of the translation were to be confiscated from stores and printing houses, by the police. The confiscated books were subsequently burnt. Finnlandisierung!

And in a weirder twist, the publisher managed to salvage / hide 800 copies of the translated book, and he sold them to the local war invalid foundation, who then sold them on for a profit as a door-to-door business venture. The 50's were weird

yeah there was a similar controversy about the same book in norway, with the publisher originally forced to destroy the remaining books as well. it basically broke mykle, who though a highly gifted novellist was also a bit of a neurotic mess to begin with, and he spent the rest of his life doing mainly puppet theater

curiously sangen om den røde rubin is imo a clearly inferior novel to its predecessor, lasso rundt fru luna, which i think is a genuine literary masterpiece and plays on a lot of the same notes. imo the clear reason for the reaction coming to sangen om den røde rubin is that the women portrayed in that book as sexually engaged and even voracious (and sometimes - egads! - moderately kinky in various ways) were based on people who knew people who mattered, or at least people who could conceivably know people who mattered.

a possible move here could be to do a meta-joke about the process of making this speech and the weird ritual of it all. in this case you can use the material you've found by casual googling as a joke about the jokes, which is 100% guaranteed to be safe, especially if you further disarm it with a "i didn't realise people were allowed to say this kind of stuff" or similar

Doesn't Støjberg sagen mean that a minister saying stuff like that is legally speaking a directive that should be followed?

In other news, Shah, the guy who ALLEGEDLY swindled billions from the Danish state is now in Denmark and being tried. And hearing about the case just makes it extremely clear that he's just a (very horrible) guy who got involved in the finance sector's shady parts. What annoys me is that we're treating this like a personal crime, instead of an industrial thing in the finance industry.
Basically, what I'm saying is that finance is a cancer on society and should be abolished, possibly violently.
